I think you didn't read the foreword of the comparison. That is by no
means a comprehensive comparison and is not meant to be one. Is a series
of thoughts about the frameworks we already tried (we don't have to
decide today) and the ones we experimented with. Django is not
completely off the radar because I used it extensively this year but the
company has certain requirements and the full stackness of Django is not
really one of our needs.

Zope2/Plone2 is the one framework they are running away from :-)
More KISS less over engineering, that's the mantra.

I really, really like Django (and its community and the competence of
the developers) and I think it deserves what it has gained and more but
we are not here to decide who's the best (there's always no best).
